The Hopper is now in Singapore. It is very hot and humid here. So when we went to the Singapore Navy Damage Control School we were happy to get wet.
The reason we went to their school was to see how they do Damage Control and to practice our Damage Control. They had a mock ship that they have damage on like flooding through holes, cracks and ruptured pipes then we try to save it from sinking. Pretty much what my real job in the navy is. It was a lot of fun to use our skills and put them to the test. It was also interesting because we had some Singapore Sailors with us. Besides a little language barrier everything went really good and I think we could have saved the ship.
Other than call Jenn that is that only thing I have done here so far. Tomorrow I am going on a mountain biking trip that should be really fun and Saturday I am going out on the towne to check things out. I will try to keep you posted.
I am doing good. I feel good with only a little bit of soreness and have lost a few pounds. I will try to post more often to keep you updated. How do you like the pictures of the ship and me?

Lookin' good Darrick! Good to know that the ship would have been saved. The only knowledge Randy & I have is from the movie Poseidon and that is to get to the propellor room! LOL To save ourselves, not the ship. :o)
Dude, I think I've gained the weight you lost...
